my .gitconfig, see gitconfig for inline comments.

Some are stuff I use a lot. A lot are things I
use occasionally, so this just documents them. 

install git-checkcommits to somewhere in
the PATH. usage is "git checkcommits master feature"
which will show commits in feature that don't seem
to be in master. It's based on comparing the subject
line, and try's to ignore subjects that start
with "12345:" (how we indicate bug id's). 

git-showbugs also needs to go in PATH, and requires
python-bugzilla setup. It looks for the same bug
id as above.

git-bugbyrelease shows bugs fixed in each release.
This is kind of specific to http://http://rm-rf.ca/tito
based builds.
